Springdale Alderman, Mike Overton, wants "pit bulls" banned inside city limits. He initiated a pit bull ban discussion last year and plans on bringing the issue back up at next week's ordinance committee meeting.

"An attack like this one is just a good illustration of the fact that there is a real problem with certain breeds of dogs. I understand it might not necessarily be the animal's fault. You can always say it's the owner, but the fact is there are some breeds that are just vicious," Overton said.

Overton, a dog owner himself, initiated a pit bull ban discussion last year and says he plans on bringing it back up at next weeks ordinance committee meeting.

"I'm sure we'll hear the same stories. I don't know how much support the council will give to addressing the issue," he said.

Although the attack shook her up, Sheila says she's not sure she'd support a dog breed ban.

"I don't think that's quite fair, but there again we do have a responsibility to take care of our children," she said.
